Paoa and Kiwa

Today I was learning about Paoa and Kiwa

I enjoyed doing the art work.

I found it challenging to find the right piece of wood.

Next time I would change my designs on the sail's.

 On tuesday koka Maddinson came from the museum to teach as about the waka Horouta and how turanganui a Kiwa means the waiting place of Kiwa.

Paoa and kiwa came from hawaiki and sailed all the way to ohiwa and there the waka hit a sand bar and broke, kiwa searched valleys and mountains for the special tree named   to fix the waka, when he found it he was by a river so he chopped it down and floated it down the river where it  landed on the beach that Paoa was on, the fixed the waka and got back to sailing and then reached a place the Kiwa named Turanganui a Kiwa.
